A Comparative Study on the Effectiveness of Different Exercise Programs in Intervening Spinal Sub-Health among Office Workers
Extensive research has demonstrated the positive impact of exercise on both physical and mental well-being.In recent years,there has been notable progress in studying the improvement of spinal sub-health among office workers through exercise interventions.This study utilizes research methods such as literature analysis and summarization and examines 8 empirical research papers obtained from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)database that are relevant to this research topic.The findings reveal that:(1)Prescribed exercise programs designed to alleviate spinal sub-health have shown improvements in body posture,mobility of cervical and lumbar vertebrae,trunk muscle functionality,cardiovascular endurance,pain levels,and overall quality of life.However,the effectiveness of exercise interventions varies across different programs.(2)Specific exercise interventions such as Pilates,yoga,swimming,fitness qigong,breathing training,proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation(PNF)training,and self-designed spinal care exercises have demonstrated significant effects.Exercise interventions emphasizing spinal joint mobility exercises,breathing training,or neuromuscular training have shown more pronounced results.
